A gift for a widow on her wedding anniversary
The date arrives whether or not anyone mentions it. A song written from their marriage — how they met, the in-joke, the years — says you remembered, without asking her to talk about it.
An anniversary belongs to two people
Birthdays and Christmas are collective — there are other people in the room, and the day carries itself. A wedding anniversary belongs to two people. When one of them is gone, the date can pass with nobody saying anything at all.
That silence is usually the hard part. Not the grief, which she expects, but the sense that the marriage has stopped being a thing anyone else remembers.
A song about their marriage — the specific one, not marriage in general — is a way of saying I know what today is, and handing her something rather than asking her a question.
- How they met, and the year
- What he called her
- Something they did every week without fail
- The hardest year, and how they got through it
- How long they were married
Who sends it. Most often a son or daughter, sometimes a friend who knows the date and knows nobody else will mention it. It works the same way for a widower.
